(A) Centromeric chromatin underlies the kinetochore, which contains inner and outer plates that form microtubule-attachment sites. Pericentromeric heterochromatin flanks centromeric chromatin, and contains a high density of cohesin, which mediates sister-chromatid cohesion. (B) Schematic depiction of centromeric DNA in humans and mice, Drosophila, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
